Rajgira Puri

Vegetarian · Jain-friendly

Cultural meaning and context — not a step-by-step recipe.

Puris made from rajgira (amaranth) instead of wheat, so they're allowed on fasting days when grains are off the table. The go-to when a vrat lands on a day you still need something that fills you up.
